Life

Franz Albrecht Pflaum attended a grammar school in Nuremberg . From 1747 he studied theology in Jena . After completing his academic training in 1751, he took over a few private tutor positions . In 1765 he was given a pastor's post in Eckersmühlen near Roth in the Principality of Ansbach . He administered this office conscientiously until his death in 1798 at the age of 71.

Pflaum made himself known to the literary public primarily through some ascetic writings. The following should preferably be mentioned:

  • Wisest method of divine providence from the infinite greatness of perfections in the change of things (Altdorf 1752)
  • Reason and written treatise of the immeasurability of God (Ansbach 1754)
  • Occupation of the soul with the heavenly, in godly reflections of spiritual songs of our Evangelical Church (Schwabach 1756)

The attempt by Samuel Wilhelm Oetter to prove that Christ could not have risen with a transfigured body was countered by Pflaum in his own book Some Memories , published in Schwabach in 1773 .
